Episode 761
The professor from Calarogad, whom he had not seen in a long time, seemed to think he was strange, so Professor Mortum hurried to explain.
âItâs a second year, but itâs not an ordinary second year. 3rd grade, no, 2nd grade, like 4th grade!â
ââ¦â¦â
Professor Tashwaan was taken aback by Professor Mortumâs unconvincing words.
What happened to this Einrogard professor while I was away?
To claim 1+1=3 so seriouslyâ¦
âReally. Please believe me.â
Professor Mortum wanted to reveal to the other party that Lee Han was the skeleton principalâs student, but he held back because he thought it would backfire.
It didnât seem like it would be good for either party to reveal their disciples to the other person who was still under the Skeleton Headmasterâs curse.
âUhm⦠I understand. âIf you say it that wayâ¦â
Professor Tashwaan ultimately had no choice but to accept Professor Mortumâs sincere attitude.
Since you come to Einrogard as a guest, you cannot ignore the hostâs kindness.
But he couldnât stop himself from thinking this.
âIsnât it possible that the Einrogard School of Black Magic also lacks students?â
It was Professor Tas-Hwan who surprisingly caught the truth keenly.
* * *
âSeniors arenât usually tough.â
After climbing up the embankment and checking around the field, Lee Han stuck out his tongue.
Lions do their best when hunting rabbits.
Moreover, the opponents now were not classmates or juniors, but Einroguardâs seniors.
It was not strange for a wizard who survived in this hell for more than one to two years to have any tricks.
âThe best way is to resolve it quickly.â
Professor Boladiâs theory of magic combat has always been a battle of speed.
No matter how powerful a wizard is, if he is attacked first before using anti-magic, he will be cornered.
That was why a wizardâs level was not proportional to his combat power.
In order to maintain concentration and cast magic without mistakes in chaotic and tense battle situations, you must receive some level of regular magic combat training.
I donât know how familiar my seniors are with magic combat, but I couldnât underestimate them, so I wanted to surprise them as quickly as possibleâ¦
Since not a single person was left out of the mushroom field, it seemed difficult to take them all by surprise.
âWrong. âI thought one or two people would fall out, but everyone was holding on, wearing sleeping bags or blankets.â
âOh my! âIâm not a senior for nothing.â
Sianna set up a simple cauldron and placed an alchemistâs smoke screen on top. This was to prevent seniors from noticing the colorful smoke that came up when making the potion.
âWhat are we making now?â
â.â
Yoner answered instead.
Holding a book with the Makin family symbol in one hand, Yoner was glaring at the cauldron with concentration that would not allow for a single mistake.
âIf itâs Arlkanâ¦â
Arlkhan Makin.
He was a great alchemist who rose to fame hundreds of years ago, and was one of the ancestors of the same family as Yoner.
âAre you talking about the great alchemist who created the original form of and ?!â
âYes, thatâs true⦠Why that among all the other great potions?â
Sianna was a little perplexed by Lee Hanâs example.
Of all the works of alchemists who developed all kinds of great potions, why bother citing chocolate and eclairs as examples?
âWhat are you talking about. Siana Priest. Donât you know how much income those two works bring to the Makin family?â
âI donât know. âWho knows?â
âItâs in the imperial newspaper?!â
âThe Makin familyâs income is published in the Imperial Newspaper?!â
âno. Thatâs not true, but if you look at the economic section, the calculation isâ¦â
Yoner said irritably.
âBoth of you, be quiet.â
âsorry.â
âsorry.â
The two lowered their voices and whispered.
âThen is that book like Arlkhanâs secret book?â
âyes. It seems like you are starting to research in earnest this year? âI also brought some secret books of the Flemain Church.â
Siana waved a small booklet with the church emblem engraved on it.
Even within the same alchemy school, wizardsâ paths are divided into hundreds of paths.
Yoner taught the familyâs vision, Syanna taught the churchâs production methods, and seniors like Illendil created artificial spirits to complete the Forest of Deathâ¦
âno. The last example seems a little strange.â
Anyway, when he saw that everyone was finding their own way and preparing quickly for being a second year student, Lee Han became a little nervous.
âI guess Iâm just following the lecture too passively.â
âWhat bullshitâ¦? âIâm sorry.â
ââ¦â¦â
As her friend looked hurt, Sianna apologized again.
âEveryone comes with their familyâs vision or templeâs vision and studies it in their own way, but I justâ¦â
âIâm taking all the schoolâs lectures.â
ââ¦okay. âI think I made a mistake.â
âIf youâre anxious, why donât you learn with me? âMakin teaches you well.â
Sianna naturally thought that Lee Han would refuse.
Even now, I should be resting, but Iâm being forced to do this because of the alchemy lecture.
There are a lot of other lectures Iâm taking, but I need to learn potions that have nothing to do with the lecturesâ¦
âIs that okay? âThank you.â
ââ¦â¦â
Sianna looked at her friend with the gaze of a priest looking at a patient with an incurable disease.
âWhy are you doing that?â
âhaha. itâs nothing.â
Shush shush-
A rat made of bone came running quickly from below, and when it arrived in front of Lee Han, it turned into a single piece of bone. It was a message from someone.
Arrival of guests from Kalarogad. Requires a trustworthy black magic school student. Please return.
Professor Mortum
â??â
âWhat kind of communication is this?â
âI heard there was a guest from another magic school.â
âand!â
Sianna looked very interested in her eyes.
Sheâs a guest at another magic school!
âfor a moment. âItâs not Baldrogaard, is it?â
âno. Kalarogad.â
âphew. thank god. âAs long as itâs not Baldrogard, thatâs fine.â
Lee Han wanted to ask the priest what he just said, but there was something more important than that.
âWhy did you come?â
âhmm. Since it is a black magic school⦠I guess they are trying to bring together all the students from the black magic school and have an opportunity to interact with each other?â
Sianna made a guess based on her experiences at her temple.
When priests from other denominations visited with gift baskets, all the young priests came to meet them and talked about their faith.
-Hehe. So, it is completed like this.
-Thatâs amazing, Priest Syanna of the Flemain Church! I canât believe Iâm so knowledgeable about alchemy at this age!
-Nothing like this, I will write a letter of recommendation. In Einrogard! Priestess Syanna must study at the Empireâs best magic school!
-But we, the priests of Syanna, are still young, and the path to becoming a wizard must be harshâ¦
-are you okay! I can do it!
ââ¦hmm. When I think about it, it was a mistake.â
Sianna looked slightly bitter.
She suddenly remembered her bitter memories that she had forgotten.
She was so excited because other priests praised her that she worked hard to prove her abilities, which ultimately led to her being admitted to Einro Guardâ¦
She consoled herself that even if it werenât for her, she would have joined the Einro Guard.
âWhy are you doing that? âYou look like youâre in pain?â
âShe remembered the day she was admitted to Einro Guard.â
âah. Right. âThat deserves to be painful.â
âWardanaz, how did you come to be admitted to Einrogard?â
âI volunteered to become an imperial official after graduation.â
âaha.â
The snake beast priest nodded his head.
And then I thought to myself.
âWhy did you lie like that?â
If you donât want to say it, just donât say it. It was a very strange lie.
* * *
When it was said that it was an exchange meeting, Lee Han brought out Gainando, Ymirg, and Rafael.
âGainando. I must not contact you now because of the prophecy. got it? âIf you get close, I will attack you.â
âYouâre not doing this because I went out to play instead of studying, right?â
Guy Nando looked at her, confused as to whether it was a real prophecy or if she was doing it because her friend didnât study.
La Pad El nodded his head as if he had expected that to happen.
âYou keep losing your temper and thatâs what happens. You prince. âWhen I was told to study, I should have just played around.â
âThatâs right, thatâs right.â
When even Ymirg agreed, Gainando was so mortified that he almost collapsed.
âI was just having fun!â
âAll three are noisy. Itâs not because you didnât listen, itâs the prophecy. âThey say that if you come in contact with the royal family, you will have bad luck.â
Lee Han briefly explained what he heard in the precognition magic lecture.
Everyone was amazed when he heard the story of precognitive magic, which was one of the most unusual and bizarre among many schools of thought.
âIâm not allowed to have contact with the royal family?â
âi get it! âItâs Aden Arth!â
Gainando clapped his hands as if he realized.
âAden Arth is making Lee Han unlucky! âNot me!â
âHwang, what about the princess?â
âwell? Are you taking all of Lee Hanâs meals by yourself?â
âThat sounds like something you would do.â
Rafael and Ymirgâs eyes were slowly becoming more suspicious.
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like this prince among the royal family would bring bad luck to Yi Han.
âNoâ¦!â
âCough. What? âWhy are you all here?â
Professor Mortum, who was waiting in front of the Heukam Hall, looked puzzled as second-year students flocked to him.
âDidnât you say you had a guest from Kalarogad? Since it was an exchange event, I also brought my friends.â
âwhat? Collock. âItâs not an exchange meeting⦠There is an exchange meeting, but itâs only for the Wizard Card Club, and weâre here to trade reagents and exchange a few grimoires.â
Lee Han became even more puzzled by the professorâs explanation.
âThen why did you call me?â
âCough. âI need someone to guide me around Einrogard.â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
âWell, shouldnât seniors usually do thatâ¦?â
Ymirg asked in a timid voice that did not suit his size. Professor Mortum sighed.
âright. This is what Delet should do in the first place. âDilet is now in the 5th grade.â
âIs it possible that the professor doesnât know how to count 3 and 4?â
Gainando muttered.
She couldnât do it unless she knew only the numbers 1, 2, and 5.
Instead of being embarrassed, Lee Han received a to-do list from Professor Mortum and checked it.
A seasoned Einrogard student gets to work at a time when it is shocking.
âoh. There is also a mushroom field.â
Lee Han, who was wondering how to get things done quickly, discovered the âWizard Card Club Exchange Exhibitionâ and called Guyando.
âGainando. Great. âIt looks like these guests are also interested in wizard cards.â
âYes.â
Gainando answered with a sullen expression. All three were shocked by that reaction.
âWhy is the prince like that??â
âFire, it seems like an incurable diseaseâ¦â
âArenât you just pretending to be sullen because you might get hit if you like it?â
But surprisingly, Gainando continued to remain sullen. Lee Han asked because he didnât understand.
âIsnât the Wizard Card Club Exchange Tournament the opportunity youâve always dreamed of? whatâs the matter?â
âLee Han. Actually⦠I didnât join the wizard card club.â
â???â
The three tilted their heads.
If my friend, who has been singing the Wizard Card Club song since first grade, doesnât go there, where does he go?
âThen where did you go?â
âWizard Card Collection Club.â
âIsnât it the same thing?â
Gainando suddenly got angry at Rafadelâs question.
âItâs different! One side is a club that enjoys wizard cards, and the other side isâ¦â
âWhat?â
ââ¦Itâs a club that collects expensive wizard cards and sells them at a higher priceâ¦â
ââ¦â¦â
âI was mistaken and went in wrongâ¦â
âwhat. âIt wasnât a big deal.â
My friends immediately lost interest.
While Guynando was swearing behind him, Lee Han listened to Professor Mortumâs explanation.
âCough. This is the . âItâs a useful artifact to use in combat situations.â
The scepter-shaped bone artifact was dispersing powerful negative energy.
There were cracks here and there and some parts were broken, so I was wondering if I could actually use itâ¦
âAnd this is the key to the school warehouse. Collock. If you need anything, you can take it and use it. This is a safe key. âWhatâs inside is your reward.â
âthank you.â
Although Professor Mortum was a professor who did not know how to count 3 and 4, he was not someone who exploited students without pay.
Lee Han was satisfied and opened the safe with the bone key he had just received.
Sweet!
Inside was a handful of imperial gold coins. Lee Han, who was trying to scrape off the gold coins as a reward, stopped.
ââ¦professor. Are there any other vaults in our school?â
âCough. I donât have any. why?â
ââ¦â¦â
As Lee Han took all of the schoolâs assets, he closed his eyes tightly to avoid seeing the spider webs in the corners of the safe.
